Cricut Explore 3 Machine

What a wonderful machine. I bought it "used like new". Cosmetically it's nearly perfect. Fine point blade came sharp. It came in the original box, but only had the power brick and usb cable, nothing else with it. Setup was easy, basically plug and play. Though I had a little trouble getting it connected to Windows 10 via usb.Be aware that it takes several seconds to connect when making cuts. Also, if you have connection time outs like I did, reboot your computer, and that will likely help. Also try a different usb port if possible.Mine came in the minty green, and it's very nice looking. It's fairly quiet, though it does make a bit of noise... almost the same or a little louder than a typical inkjet printer. Mine makes a small beep sound every time it lifts the blade and repositions it. A little annoying, but not terrible.Design space, which has to be used in order use this machine, is not amazing, but isn't terrible either. It does some strange things, and makes you do some strange things in order to get what you want. Print then cut can be pretty annoying; you have to have layers for print, and layers for cut. Then you have to flatten everything. Youtube is your friend.Worst design space flaw is that you can lay out the canvas in the perfect order, but when you hit 'make', it rearranges everything, and moves it from where you had it. You can bypass this, mostly, by attaching, or grouping everything before you cut, but it can be annoying.Overall a great machine, and really fun to make all sorts of artsy fartsy projects!

Omg!! Really this is very good! Amazing work!!! I loved this product

So, here's what happened. I bought a new Cricut Explore 3 from a seller (Olive Branch Enterprises) on Amazon. I did my usual checks on the seller before I decided to buy from them and saw that they had a 100% positive review rating and that the purchase was fulfilled by Amazon so I'm thinking that everything is going to be fine right... Boy was I WRONG!!!So I received my Item in good order with no physical issues and even made sure I powered it up and everything appeared fine. I did all of this because I was leaving the US with the device. I was a bit busy, so it took me a while to actually try to Install the App and try to use the device for the first time. I eventually got around to trying out my device only to be met with the error message "Machine Deactivated - This machine is not in working order. If you think you are getting this message in error, contact member care."Now I'm telling myself that this has to be an error because my machine is new and was never used. So, I spend several hours trying to get on to Cricut Member Care only to be told that there is nothing they can do for me because Olive Branch Enterprises is not an authorized Cricut reseller.Honestly, I was excited and looking forward to using my Cricut Explore 3 and was even planning to purchase the more expensive Cricut Maker and other Cricut devices but now I am completely turned off from this experience. It sucks that this company is penalizing me even after I proved that I made a legitimate purchase through amazon.I paid $272 plus tax for the Cricut Explore 3, then I spent another $100 to take it with me overseas. Now if I want a refund of the $272 I have to spend another $150 to have is shipped back to the US. So, now I am stuck with the choice of either keeping a useless machine or spending more than half the cost to have it shipped back to the US. I will never buy another Cricut Device again!!!
